Animal Re-homing

Beautiful 4-month-old Penelope is looking for the best home ever!

This little girl needs someone who is around most of the day to teach her all about life - from toilet training, to puppy classes to daily walks, to meeting lots of other dogs and people, to having endless positive experiences...

We look forward to placing this gorgeous pup with a loving individual, couple or family with older children.

Sometimes we meet up with dogs who were adopted from us years ago. Even if it's been over a decade, they never, ever forget the love and fun we shared with them.

We currently have seven puppies and countless adult dogs waiting for homes where they will have the full focus of their special person or family.

It's an act of beauty when people work together for the betterment of the vulnerable. Our sincere thanks to Paw Justice, Royal Canin, Pixies Doggie Hotel and Mainfreight Auckland for their selfless assistance.

With literally dozens of hungry rescue dogs and puppies to feed, we reached out in desperation to our friends at Paw Justice.

Craig at Paw Justice then liaised with Royal Canin who generously donated multiple pallets of much-needed dog and puppy food.

Our incredible rescue colleagues at Pixie's Doggie Hotel then spent two backbreaking days preparing storage space at their wonderful facility.

Faced with the expense of shipping the food, we contacted transport company Mainfreight Auckland who, thanks to John's big heart, delivered the product without charge - including bringing a forklift along. Special thanks to driver, Bimal, for providing his truck for the morning.

Please support these compassionate charities and businesses. They are awesome to deal with... and they give back!

Free cat and kitten de-sexing and micro-chipping if you live in the areas listed.

Please take your kitties along to prevent more homeless cats being born. Please tell your friends who live in these areas.

Thank you SPCA New Zealand and Mangere Vet Clinic & Onehunga Vet and Pet Supplies

If you love all animals regardless of species and don’t mind getting your hands dirty, this might be the job for you!

We are a small, but active and well known organisation in Browns Bay on the North Shore of Auckland. We are offering 11 hours of paid work at minimum wage beginning April 2019.

Assistant tasks include: Cleaning (lots of that), animal handling and interaction, dog walking, unpacking and stacking products, transporting goods or animals, relocating enclosures, office duties, creating posters and adverts, organising fundraisers, assisting at animal-related presentations and events, photography, distributing flyers, volunteer training, and any other tasks that free up the trustees to focus on their various workloads.

Training may be provided before the start date – while you are volunteering.

Our ideal applicant will:

• Be available two non-consecutive weekdays per week
• Have a calm demeanour around difficult animals
• Have excellent attention to detail

There are plenty of perks to the job. You’re being paid for what is often a voluntary role, you are around lots of animals all day, and you play a crucial role in rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing animals in strife.

We are a small vegan organisation. You will be incredibly appreciated and valued, almost like family.

Today rescue dog, Daisy, had her first professional training session (on Orewa beachfront) with our dog walking volunteer Lydie and Sacha from DOGlife NZ. It was a great success!

We currently have five dogs who could do with some extra help before their adoptions. If you would like to be part of their happy endings, please consider funding training for one or more of them. To make a donation please visit http://www.animalrehoming.co.nz/help-us/donate

Please bring your friends, families and dogs. Come to Milford (Auckland) to meet Sassy, Bandit, Bear, Amber, Odin, Sammy and Paige... among others of our beautiful rescue dogs who need loving homes.

We can't wait to meet you there... and to reunite with some of our adopted dogs.

Paw Justice

These four beautiful kittens were left even more vulnerable in an industrial area when their pure white mother was killed on the road. Witnesses will never erase the heartbreaking image of her milk flowing onto the street while her kittens stared on, open-eyed with fear.

Kind business owners had been feeding two adult cats there and, after this tragedy, immediately sought help for the kittens and the remaining adult.

With one of our humane traps in hand, Pixie's Animal Rescue did a fantastic job of capturing these beautiful kittens and the adult cat. They exhausted themselves as they clocked up almost 800km travelling back and forth with the waifs as they were trapped. Kudos to our friends and colleagues at Pixies for saving their lives.

The four female kittens have been at our Auckland shelter for taming and care for three weeks now. They have been twice wormed and treated for fleas, and volunteer Wendy has named them Cassie, Fleur, Darcie and Gemma.

As soon as we have had them spayed and micro-chipped, we will be accepting applications for gentle, traffic safe homes for these little girls.
